Beverages

A beverage is basically a
drink specifically prepared for
human consumption.
Beverages almost always
largely consist of water as
their main ingredient.
Broadly there are two types of
beverages:

1. Alcoholic Beverages
2. Non-alcoholic
Beverages
These two types of beverages can
be then further classified as:

1.Cold Beverages and


2.Hot Beverages.
Types of Alcoholic
Beverages
Alcoholic beverages are made
from fruits or grains. Each distiller has
its own special formula that is in
many cases a closely guarded secret.
Some beverages such as brandy are
made to be drank straight or mixed to
make a cocktail
Brandy
-The word “brandy” comes
from the Dutch word
“brandewijn” which literally
means “burned wine”.
It is broken down into three
categories:
- Grape brandy is made from fermented grape
juice from crushed grape pulp or skins
- Pomace brandy is made from pressed, not
crushed, grape pulp, skins and stems left over
after the production of wine
- Fruit brandy, which is all brandy that is made
from fruits other than grapes.
Scotch
-Scotch whiskey covers a broad range
of distilled spirits.
- Scotch whiskey comes in two types:
single malt, which is a unblended
whiskey from single batch, and blended
whiskey, which is a blend of multiple
malts
Rye
Rye whiskey is a distilled
beverage with a minimum of
51% rye grain. The other
ingredients can be corn and
malted barley.
Bourbon
Is another distilled spirit whose
content is regulated by law. Bourbon
must be a minimum of two years
old, be at least 80 proofs, be made
from at least 51 percent corn and be
aged in charred, new oak barrels.
Rum
Is only alcoholic beverage that is made
from a grass-sugar cane. The process
starts by pressing the juice from the
cane. Sometimes distillers only use the
juice, while other use molasses, which is
what is left over when sugar is refined.
Rum is fermented by adding yeast
Beer
The basic process is simple:
yeast reacts with grain in water,
the grain ferments and beer is
created. It is the type of water,
yeast and grain that creates the
different types of beer.
Types of Beer:
Ale – the word “Ale” comes from the
German word alt, meaning old or
aged. Like red wines, they are
fermented and served at warmer
(room) temperatures, usually
yielding more intense flavor profiles
Pale lager – it usually contains more
carbonation than the other types of beer. It
tends to be light in color as well as in body.

Pilsner – it is another type of lager that is


pale in color. However, pilsner tend to
have more distinct flavors and are often
more bitter that American style pale lager
Porters – they usually have a more
noticeable barley flavor that is
reminiscent of chocolate, along with a
mild hop flavor.

Stouts- are the darkest type of beer,


almost black in color. They are thick
and taste strongly of the barley and
hops that they are made from.
Wine
Is an alcoholic beverage made
from fermented grapes or
other fruits. All wine, thought
it come in many varieties
starts out the same way.
Types of wine
Red wine – are made from
“black” (red-colored) grapes
fermented with the skin
included. The skin is what
imparts the red color to wine.
White wine
- are from either “black” (red-
colored) or “white” (green-colored)
grapes, fermented without the
skin. White wines are usually drunk
col, with lighter foods such as
poultry and fish.
Rose Wines
These are pink or blush-colored.
The pink color comes from the fact
that the grapes skin is included for
just the first few hours of the
fermentation process or
sometimes due to the wine being
a mixture of red and white wines.
Sparkling wine
Champagne is probably the best-known
sparkling wine. Although many dry sparkling
wines are referred to as champagne, technically
Champagne is sparkling wine from the
Champagne region of France of France.
The “sparkles” in sparkling wine are bubbles of
carbon dioxide, which is a natural by product of
the fermentation process
Types of Sparkling Wine

a). Prosecco – a dry Italian sparkling


wine.
b). Asti – a sweet Italian sparkling wine.
c). Cava – is a sparkling Spanish wine.
Dessert and Fortified
Wines
Dessert wines are very sweet, and intended
to be drunk with or as a dessert course.
Fortified wines, as their name implies, are
type of wine with brandy or other spirits
added during fermentation. Many are quite
sweet depending on when the spirits are
added, since that ends the fermentation
process.
